Real tax rate
36.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.3% tax rate now rises to 36.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 18,299,712 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 5,726,779 円. That means that your net pay will be 12,572,933 円 per year, or 1,047,744 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.3% and your marginal tax rate is 38.4%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 円 in your salary will be taxed 38.42 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 61.58 円.
